DNA for Genealogy

At the May 31st meeting Joan Miller will be giving a talk entitled “Research and Verify your Ancestors with DNA – Understanding your FTDNA results”. This talk will review the basics of using DNA for genealogy, then delve into how to interpret your results from Family Tree DNA.

The DNA SIG is a new group which will focus on using genetic genealogy (DNA for genealogy) to complement traditional methods of family tree research. This group will likely meet twice a year depending on interest. All AFHS members are welcome.
